Does OP believe the answer is John Cena? Because Dwayne is the best actor amongst these three!

He understands it just fine.

What if you keep the file around but write to it and zero size it? Does chrome still download the file again?

I used Onavo for a short while. But the ick factor of having someone give me a service for free which I know is expensive fired off all kinds of alarm bells and I stopped using it. It’s truly evil that Facebook was just lapping up so much data and in such an anti-competitive way - Onavo was pivotal in FB buying WhatsApp for pennies on the dollar.

Ya need to get out more!

Oh yes! If you don’t have the degree, you’re not qualified to work there!

Indeed.

The article is about Bachelors and Masters degrees. If one day PhD degrees become useless, kill the University.

forget everything you learned in college. That’s useless to you here.

Said every worker ever to every new hire.

What’s coordinated about it is that it can’t possibly be so universal that people believe this is a good thing and it “saves the children”. I do believe this is good and even I can’t see a clear reason for why so many governments would suddenly be supporting it. Australia, who first implemented it at a national scale, has not yet proven the benefits of it.

But what you best believe is that there are lobbying groups backed by social media giants evil enough <cough>Zuckerberg<cough> that they would be throwing money at politicians across the western world to implement this.

This is not a “leak user’s ID” thing. That’s a byproduct of implementing this in a terrible way. This is a “social media giants don’t want the responsibility of what they’ve done to the generation of children they have mentally ruined but do want even more data and control” thing.

Think about this - Facebook has had a policy themselves since the beginning that under-13s are not allowed on their platform. Yet, as recently revealed in court documents from a case in California, Zuck himself pushed his engineering to create the platform to be more aggressively addictive towards under-13s. Why would he do that? Why not use all their AI chops to discover who the under-13s are and kick them off the platform? I imagine it would be fairly easy for them to do so.

But would it be profitable? No.

This age-gate is a two pronged approach - Facebook gets to steal even more data about you, and eventually gets to absolve themselves of the responsibility of destroying mental health in teens, because, “hey, it’s age-gated now!”

Oh, it was an Italian restaurant but not in Italy. It was in North America. The menu was in English.

I was sitting in a restaurant the other day and staring at the menu. It was Italian and none of the things made sense. Too wordy and not clear what was meat and what was fancy cheese. The waiter was utterly useless - too busy to help and when present, not answering my questions about what would be a good simple pasta in white sauce.

I took a photo and asked Claude what’s a good white sauce pasta which would be like Alfredo.

It found two options I hadn’t even looked at. AI is good at sorting through complexity. But I don’t just mean AI as in LLMs. It needs a lot more tools and knowledge to be useful. So what you need is a smart system which may or may not have AI as a component.

This is gonna do wonders for airline stocks.

This is what MSM gets for bending over backwards to support the war. Rather than accolades for toeing the line, they get threatened for speaking even an ounce of truth.

Sure, they did. But that just means some ad-exec and lawyers are working to figure out the next loophole.

Oh, I’m not saying that the law should be “common sense”. Often that has been used to cover all kinds of nonsense. But the fact that the product exists and is one more loophole away from again full scale advertising to children (as opposed to the shadow “influencer” advertising that they’re doing right now) is the problem.

But we as common sense people can say that Juul is a cigarette and the govt hasn’t done enough to kill its advertising to children.

And so JUUL, which is made from all the main ingredients of a cigarette, is not a cigarette? And it’s not advertised heavily on social media like Snapchat, where most youth are? Instead of the fucking nascar?

What, dear friend, are the ingredients of Juul?

Facebook has known since over a decade that under 13s are on their networks and instead of booting them, the CEO (whoever he is) decided to make the platforms more addictive to under 13s. Real quote from the LA court case going on right now.

Also, the new CEO of Xbox Gaming is ex-AI Head of Microsoft and the ex-Head of under-13 policy at Facebook. So she did everything the CEO (whoever he is) asked her to do, including making the platforms more addictive and pushing back on govt intervention.
